Coolant

DINO · May 12, 2005

Hi,

I got the coolant changed on my lexus is200 2 months ago. I was told it has been overfilled, but while driving the car it will level itself out via the overflow hose. It has been 3 months and the level is still full when warm and when the car is cold in the morning. is this an issue. Cheers.

providing that it isnt above the "Full" mark on the viewing window, dont worry about it

It is above the FULL mark. Is this an issue, Is their not enough pressure. Could the radiator cap be faulty?

Is the temp guage in the normal range e.g. where it sat before the coolant change ? If the answer is yes then I would say don't worry.

The space in the header tank is for expansion of the coolant if the engine gets too hot, if you are really worried get a bit of clear pipe and syphon some out. Make sure it's cold when you do.

:) Hey,

Thanks for the response. The temp is always at the half mark, I now feel content in knowing that its not a problem. I might as well leave the coolant as it is, as more coolant is better than less. Thanks again.
